Contextual Overview

12 Blessed is the man O Lorde, whom thou wylt chasten: and whom thou wylt instruct in thy lawe. 13 That thou mayest geue hym patience in tyme of aduersitie: vntyll the pyt be digged vp for the vngodly. 14 For God wyll not reiect his people: neither wil he forsake his inheritaunce. 15 For iudgement shalbe reduced vnto iustice: and after it shall all such as be vpryght of heart [be iudged.] 16 Who will ryse vp with me agaynst the malicious? or who wyll take my part agaynst workers of wickednesse? 17 If God had not ben an ayde vnto me: it had not fayled much but my soule had dwelled in silence. 18 But when I sayde my foote hath slypped: thy mercy O God helde me vp. 19 In the multitude of my cogitations from the bottome of my heart: thy comfortes dyd recreate my soule. 20 Shall the seate of wickednesse haue any thyng to do with thee: which [seate] maketh wrong to be enacted for a law? 21 They flocke together agaynst the soule of the ryghteous: and condemne the innocent blood.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They gather themselves together,.... As "in troops" h, as the word signifies; in great armies; so the antichristian kings and states will, at the instigation of Popish emissaries; see

Revelation 16:17,

against the soul of the righteous; or "the life" of them; in order to take away their lives; to cut them off, root and branch, and destroy at once the whole interest of Christ; for it will be to make war with him, and them his followers, who are the righteous here meant, made so by his righteousness, that they will be gathered together in such great numbers:

and condemn the innocent blood; condemn innocent persons to death, shed their blood, and drink it, and to such a degree as to be drunk with it; for in them will be found the blood of the prophets and saints, and of all that are slain on earth, Revelation 17:6.

h יגודו "turmatim conveniunt", Vatablus, Piscator.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous - Against the life of the righteous; that is, to take their lives. The Hebrew word rendered “gather together,” means to press or crowd upon anyone; to rush in crowds or troops. It would refer particularly to a tumultuous gathering - “a mob” - intent on accomplishing its purpose.

And condemn the innocent blood - literally, make guilty; that is, they hold that blood to be guilty; or, they treat the innocent as if they were guilty.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 94:21. They gather themselves together — In every thing that is evil, they are in unity. The devil, his angels, and his children, all join and draw together when they have for their object the destruction of the works of the Lord. But this was particularly the case with respect to the poor Jews among the Babylonians: they were objects of their continual hatred, and they laboured for their destruction.

This and the following verses have been applied to our Lord, and the treatment he met with both from his own countrymen and from the Romans. They pretended to "judge him according to the law, and framed mischief against him;" they "assembled together against the life of the righteous one," and "condemned innocent blood;" but God evidently interposed, and "brought upon them their own iniquity," according to their horrible imprecation: "His blood be upon us and upon our children!" God "cut them off in their own iniquity." All this had, in reference to him, a most literal fulfilment.
